Shaktha Maha Guru Shreem Maheshji Swamiji

With the Grace and Blessings of Shaktha Maha Guru Shreem Maheshji Swamiji

With the Grace and Blessings of Shaktha Maha Guru Shreem Maheshji Swamiji, this sacred temple project is being envisioned, guided, and brought to life as a divine center for the worship of Sri Kaal Bhairavar and Sri Varaahi Devi. A devoted upasakar of both Kaal Bhairavar and Varaahi, Shreem Maheshji Swamiji has dedicated his spiritual life to the propagation of Shaktha traditions, tantric wisdom, and the path of divine mother worship.

Under his guidance, this temple is being conceived not merely as a place of worship, but as a powerful spiritual kshetra where devotees can experience divine grace, inner transformation, protection, and spiritual awakening. Rooted in sacred tradition and guided by profound spiritual insight, this project stands as an offering to the Divine for the benefit of present and future generations.

A sanctuary of grace and guardianship

This temple is being built as the Bhairavar Saamrajyam (The Empire of Bhairavar) - a living offering where devotees can stand before towering eighteen-foot murthis of Lord Kāla Bhairavar and Goddess Panchamukha Varahi, and feel the weight of their protection and grace.

The Road Ahead

A sacred work in two phases

The Bhairavar Saamrajyam (The Empire of Bhairavar) is being built in two clear phases - so that every vigraha and every shrine receives the care, tradition, and devotion it deserves.

Phase I

The four Parivara Devatas and their shrines

The carving and consecration of Sri Uchchishta Maha Ganapati, Bala Dhandayudha Paani, Unmatha Bhairavar, and Ashvaruda Varahi, along with the construction of individual shrines for each of them. This work is already under way.

Phase II

The main sanctum of Bhairavar and Varahi

The raising of the principal sanctum housing the eighteen-foot murthis of Lord Kāla Bhairavar and Goddess Panchamukha Varahi, with the surrounding prakaram, mandapam, and gopuram of the temple.

Phase I in motion

Watch the sacred vigrahas of Phase I as they take shape - short films from the temple project.
